In four papers published between 1950–53 he made seminal contributions to game theory and to bargaining theory, which led to a revolution in economic theory. Nash also made significant contributions to mathematics, including the Nash embedding theorems and work on elliptic partial differential equations and parabolic nonlinear partial differential equations. In 1959 he began to experience what he termed "mental disturbances" and remained in seclusion for the next 30 years, suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, which he blamed on the mental effort expended in resolving contradictions in quantum theory. Nash returned to his academic research once the disease was in remission, and for his landmark work on the mathematics of game theory he shared the 1994 Nobel memorial economics prize with Hungarian-American economist John HarsanyiHarsanyi, John Charles,
